Seeing that I could also do other things on the side, I took on a number of missions as a self-employed contractor, often associated with the world of aeronautics. <br><br>L&#8217;<a href=\"https:\/\/fr.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Licence_de_pilote_de_ligne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ATPL<\/strong><\/a> in theory, I continued my practical training in England with J\u00e9r\u00f4me until I qualified on the <strong>A320<\/strong>.
